The GEL-CONTEND® 9 running shoe provides good cushioning, support, and durability.
An engineered mesh upper stretches with the foot's natural motion and creates a comfortable fit. Meanwhile, the synthetic stitching on the overlays helps create a more supportive foothold.
The midsole features GEL® technology and AMPLIFOAM cushioning. These technologies help increase durability while creating a softer feel underfoot.
Additionally, a TRUSSTIC® support unit and wrap-up outsole improve stability while allowing your feet to move freely. This lets you change directions more confidently, particularly if you're moving side-to-side.

*PRONATION:
Designed For Neutral/Underpronation
Neutral
- Foot Type - Normal size arches
- Push Off - There is even distribution from the front of the foot.
- Considered Injuries - Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.
- How your foot contacts the ground - The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.
Underpronation
- Foot Type - High arches
- Push Off - The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot.
- Considered Injuries - Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain.
- How your foot contacts the ground - The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.
